There 's a land that is fairer than day, 

And by faith we can see it afar, 
For the Father waits over the way, 

To prepare us a dwelling-place there. 

Chorus. 
In the sweet by and by 

We shall meet on that beautiful shore. 
In the sweet by and by 

We shall meet on that beautiful shore. 



We_ shall sing on that beautiful shore 
The melodious songs of the blest. 

And our spirits shall sorrow no more — 
Noc a sigh for the blessing of rest. 

To our bountiful Father above 

We will offer the tribute of praise. 

For the glorious gift of his love, 

And the blessings that hallow our days.
